Kid Power Triathlon – Saturday July 31st, 2010

This fun-filled event will give kids from 5 to 14 an opportunity to swim, bike, and run in a triathlon organized just like those for adults.

Every child will receive a finisher’s medal in this non-intimidating event where the focus is on fun, fitness, and giving kids a taste of the growing sport of youth triathlon. The race will be staffed with experienced triathletes, and plenty of volunteers will be on hand to provide support prior to the race and out on the course.

Event distances are designed by age group, so that every child can make it to the finish line with ease. The swim will take place in the Terra Linda Community Center pool, with wave starts by age group. The bike and run will be on a monitored course in the neighborhood.

The distances by age group are as follows:

• Ages 5-6 : 25 yard swim, 1/2 mile bike, ¼ mile run
